So I got to the cottage yesterday and only had a few hours of work to be done and went to plug the car into my Tesla Wall charger and... I forgot my J1772 adapter at home Remembering discussions here about the included charger working at 240V and having a spare NEMA 6-50 plug (that my Wall charger connects to), I did this. Worked well, was alone so no issue with someone fiddling with it. I'll make something more permanent for the next time I forget it...
$2.00 CAD a liter desperate, Apparently. LoL, at least he used a broken hose reel to keep it off the ground.
When using to charge your car the nail clipper needs to be flipped upside down so you can use the electric nail clipper while waiting. Mike
Y Lol, yeah, the hose reel broke last winter when snow slid off the metal roof right onto it. It took a few minutes to assemble and I wanted to try it since I heard it can be done. Lol, nope NEMA 6-50 replacement plug I had laying around.
Didn't you have gas in the tank? Couldn't get home on the ICE/HV? Kind of risky for some EV miles, I'd say.
I went to the cottage for two things. First was to bring the trailer home and to mow the grass while the car was charging. It was the first time pulling the trailer with the Prime (hence why for me having a pickup truck for the off chance I'll need to carry something too big for the car is a waste) and I wanted to see the impact on the consumption compared to without it. My usual consumption is 3.9L/100 km from the cottage to home and with the trailer, it was 4.3L/100 km. The trailer was empty and is just a 5'x7' (5'x9' with the extension opened) but I was still expecting a bigger impact, especially with the extension closed, the front surface of the trailer is 4' high. Without a charge, the result would have been tainted.
The only improvement I can see is if you plugged a $12 kill a watt into your outlet to measure kilowatts delivered.
